1965 Map of Purdon

About this map

Purdon and Pursley anchor this rural landscape in Navarro County during the mid-1960s, a period defined by the convergence of traditional agriculture and modern infrastructure. The St Louis Southwestern railroad cuts diagonally across the northern terrain, serving as a primary transit corridor alongside a major subterranean pipeline. The natural drainage of the region is dominated by Richland Creek and its many tributaries, including Melton Branch, Rush Creek, and Pin Oak Creek.
